putin has actually danced around obama for the last five years sort of besting him at every step. but the long-term prospects of russia are not very good either. russia has had for the last 15 years a real boom because of their energy exports. they export natural gas to europe, and they export oil to the rest of the world, and that's how they make their foreign currency. in that amount of time, they've never developed an industry. they've done what a lot of petrol powers do, they've just sold the stuff, gotten the foreign money, given it out in the form of subsidies. who buys russian computers or cars or clothes? you don't. people buy russian energy. well, russian energy's about to play out. in siberia where the russian oil fields are, they're pretty much played out. there is oil, and eastern siberia, but they don't get to it unless they have foreign investment and western technology. and when putin ten days ago went to an economic conference in st. petersburg, he was saying to them invest in russia, a great opportunity, we're going to do great things, we're building our infrastru

obama don't like each other at all. i think there's a deep disagree of disrespect, i think when our president says something like comparing mr. putin to the kid in the back of the classroom kind of slouching not really interested in things, well, you take in the relationship to a personal level. even more so, i think, than the comment he made, which was a mistake, i think, four years ago had that mr. putin had one foot in the cold war and one foot in the future. mr. putin is not a person that forgets, i think, any personal insults, and certainly not played well in the relationship. it's something to think about, i mean, really i don't think there's been a case even in the soviet period, obviously, mr. lennon didn't meet with any american leaders that i know of. we know about the relationship between uncle joe and fdr. but clearly to me it's the worst personal relationship of the u.s. and russian leader in history. and i think that is obviously not a good thing. let look a little bit more about the recent history. the ob

so obama has done a lot of that. yet he does not really talk about it and has chosen to wage the war in secret. and i would just say the thing about doing these things under so much secrecy is that just as you can expand it and not tell congress and the american people, you can also take it away and not have much of a debate either. so, you know, a lot of trust right now, i think, in the executive branch, and maybe there has to be. i'm not saying i know where the balance should be. but the way that obama, obama's approach to this is that he's actually done quite a bit, you know, in a lot of these places including somalia and all over, a lot of places. but he has not, he's made it appear that the war's sort of winding down, and he's taken credit for, of course, the incredible symbolism of killing bin laden. and the question is, will that then translate into, ultimately, winding down these secret operations that he's continued for much of his presidency so far? >> >> yeah. i think what eli's saying is true, however, i

president obama made a statement earlier today about the violence. here is a portion of that. >> that's why we are so concerned by the recent events. we appreciate the complexity of the situation. wild mohammed morsi was elected president in a space election, his government was not inclusive and did not respect the views of all egyptians. we know that many egyptians, perhaps even a majority of the egyptians were calling for a change in course. and while we do not believe the force is the way to resolve political differences, after the military intervention several weeks ago, they're remained a chance for reconciliation and an opportunity to pursue a space path. instead, we have seen a more dangerous path taken to the arbitrary arrests, a broad crackdown on mr. morsi's associations, and supporters and now tragically, violence has taken the lives of hundreds of people and has wounded thousands more. the united states strongly condemns the steps that have been taken by egypt's interim government and security forces. we deplore violence against civilians
